This is silly. The genetic breeding companies have paid millions for research that says their product is perfectly safe. And who can argue with bought-and-paid-for research? If you don't like it then you just need to buy dicamba resistant seed to protect yourself from the possibility of damage. Hmmmmm. Kinda reminds you of armed thugs who visit small businesses and demand payment for protection (tech fees) from your business mysteriously burning down. And if you don't want to pay up, they leave little doubt about who it is that will "mysteriously" burn your business down. Isn't that a textbook definition of extortion? From Wikipedia: "Extortion (also called shakedown, outwrestling and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution, through coercion. It is sometimes euphemistically referred to as a "protection racket" since the racketeers often phrase their demands a payment for "protection" from (real or hypothetical) threats from unspecified other parties; though often, and almost always, the person or organization offering "protection" is the same one willing to cause harm if the money is not paid, and such is implied in the "protection" offer. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups." Have you ever had a seed rep give you this line???????
